A report by Woodside/Kubota was authorized by the Board in November 1984. The report, dated August 15, 1985, was based on very early data on the outlet works: no new diving was authorized so it is .still not known how much silt is down there or the condition of the concrete in the 26 year old structure. The recommendation is to 3 April 16, 1986 ask the Division of Safety of Dams to wait until all three of our new reservoirs are in service so Squ,ires can be de-watered and the valve installation can be done in the dry. He recommended Board approval to hire a diving engineering firm (the diver is a civil engineer) to godown and lookat the facility so we can report the status to the State. The cost is $2600. per day (maximum cost $8,000) . It is estimated that the work can be done in three days or less. This will include pictures.
